[edit] Johnny Cash

Article is no longer a featured article.

I really hate to do this, as I love Johnny Cash, but the article has had massive changes since the FAC, which was kind of small to begin with (only 2 votes). Absolutely no inline citation with a massive non-prose trivia section added after the FAC which is completely uncited. Finally, even if there was inline citation, there are very few sources for an article this big. It therefore violates at least FA criteria 2c, I would argue 2a, and the short reference list makes it semi-violate the basic 2 (factual article) as well. Staxringold 23:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

  • AllanHainey removed the trivia section, which helps, but the list of quotes is still uncited as is everything in the article. Staxringold 13:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Jeepers, this article has significantly devolved from it's promoted state. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 05:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Something tells me the massive list of external links actually contains some references. Nevertheless, remove, the (unsourced) trivia needs to be included in the article text and referenced (and rephrased in places), the quotes need to go to Wikiquote with a {{wikiquotepar}} in the external links section and the references need to be fixed before this can be featured again. All that work takes time. - Mgm|(talk) 08:28, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • On first glance, the image in the infobox doesn't have any fairuse rationale or a source. Mrtea (talk) 17:27, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
  • remove insufficient references, article has devolved Zzzzz 14:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
